Description
Summary:In this study, aggregate and solitary zooids of salps were collected from Southern and East Sea of Korea. By morphological characteristic examinations, eight species in the subfamily Salpinae were identified as new records in Korean waters: Pegea bicaudata (Quoy and Gaimard 1826); Pegea confoederata (Forskal 1775); Ritteriella amboinensis (Apstein 1904); Ritteriella retracta (Ritter 1906); Salpa aspera Chamisso, 1819; Salpa maxima Forskal, 1775; Traustedtia multitentaculata (Quoy and Gaimard 1834); and Weelia cylindrica (Cuvier 1804). These species were redescribed and reported with illustrations of the photographs. There are 16 species from the subfamily Salpinae which were reported from Korea.
